Parents Refuse to Fund Daughter’s Dream Trip: Fair or Foul Play?

Meet the family that’s stirring up a storm! A couple in their late forties, with a 21-year-old daughter and a 23-year-old son, have always had a simple agreement with their kids: focus on your studies, and we’ll handle the rest. But when it comes to ‘fun money’, the rules change. Their son, after a minor brush with the law, learned the value of hard work and saved up for his dream backpacking trip. The parents, impressed by his responsibility, decided to fund his adventure. But when their daughter, who’s never worked a day in her life, asked for the same treatment, they put their foot down.

Backpacking Brouhaha: A Lesson in Responsibility or Unfair Favoritism?
